The problem is that many people, especially advertisers, don't want to be part of a marketplace with ideas that will cause great backlash. Parents don't want their kids in a marketplace with ideas they don't want to expose them to.

The principles of a marketplace also apply to marketplaces.

This explains why some videos are demonetized but not why they're banned.

Demonetizing them may not be sufficient for the parents or advertisers, particularly the former.

Not true. Advertisers wouldn't give a damn if they themselves wouldn't be targeted.
